The first two pieces in this volume are lectures from the “University
Courses” on philosophy, given at Harvard College in 1870 and 1871,
by persons not members of the Faculty. “The Natural History of the
Intellect” was the subject which Emerson chose. He had from his
early youth cherished the project of a new method in metaphysics,
proceeding by observation of the mental facts, without attempting an
analysis and coördination of them, which must, from the nature of
the case, be premature. With this view, he had, at intervals from
1848 to 1866, announced courses on the “Natural History of
Intellect,” “The Natural Method of Mental Philosophy,” and
“Philosophy for the People.” He would, he said, give anecdotes of
the spirit, a calendar of mental moods, without any pretense of
system.
None of these attempts, however, disclosed any novelty of
method, or, indeed, after the opening statement of his intention, any
marked difference from his ordinary lectures. He had always been
writing anecdotes of the spirit, and those which he wrote under this
heading were used by him in subsequently published essays so
largely that I find very little left for present publication. The lecture
which gives its name to the volume was the first of the earliest
course, and it seems to me to include all that distinctly belongs to the
particular subject.
The lecture on “Memory” is from the same course; that on
“Boston” from the course on “Life and Literature,” in 1861. The other
pieces are reprints from the “North American Review” and the “Dial.”
